It's come time to announce some significant developments at the Whitney-Fan.com Web Board, and I hope you're all as excited about it as me! While I will continue as Whitney-Fan.com's administrator at the overall site as well as the forum, the board has undergone changes and I expect it to continue to grow when Whitney Houston releases her next album. As a result, I have chosen a group of moderators to help keep the community up to date while I try to focus on other areas of the greater site. Let's get started!

::Lights dim. Introduction to "My Love Is Your Love" begins to play.::

He's been with us from the beginning, he has run two different fan sites over the years, and he is level-headed and thoroughly dedicated to Whitney Houston and this site. I could think of no one better suited to run a future spinoff site that will operate in conjunction with the rest of Whitney-Fan.com than our very own ... Mind Speaker! Larry will run the spinoff site, but please don't ask him what it is, because he won't tell you yet! LOL

He's been banned from the board three times (none by me). He has a posting record that is second to only one. Some people say he lives at Whitney-Fan.com. He's a banner designer extraordinaire and BBS entertainer, and he somehow managed to get married, have a baby and post at the same time. You guessed it! The main BBS now has a new moderator ... the one and only Terrence! But Terrence will not be alone. He will have a partner in crime. Mind Speaker will also serve as co-moderator of the main forum.

Our next moderator will be managing a new forum dedicated to graphics design called the Whitney-Fan.com Design Lab. It will be a central location where you can discuss banners, preview your ideas, post tips and tutorials, and let your creativity run free! I'm hoping it will become a place where everyone can work together to really expand their abilities. While you'll still be able to debut your banners in the main forum, this graphics forum will give you a lot more room to play with, and I hope you'll use it. Besides banners, it can also be a design center for avatars, icons, smileys, wallpaper, member requests and more! To manage this forum, I have selected the fabulous banner designer Clemsonfight!

Our blogs moderator can spot an obscure Whitney Houston poll or link in a single bound. For moderating our personal blogs, I need someone with eagle eyes, who will pay attention to small things and have enough political sensitivity to notice items that might be offensive, racist, et al. Please welcome PontusFromSweden as our blogs moderator!

Our personal galleries also need to be reviewed for potentially offensive photos (racist, sexist, etc.) To take on this important job, I have enlisted our very own Kevin as our galleries moderator! As a member for the past year, he has made a name for himself as a prolific banner designer and Whitney Houston fanatic. He'll be in charge of making sure offensive photos do not get to share a URL with Whitney-Fan.com.

Please congratulate the moderating team, and go easy on everyone as they adjust to their new roles! We are all here to help. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, and to everyone on the team! There will be more opportunities to help in the future. :)

I think both are great choice's for the BBS! Mind_Speaker and Terrence! Excellent choices. Mind_Speaker for his whit and intelligence and Terrence cuz he on the damn board all damn day and reads almost every post (and replies to half) daily! So GREAT choices!

I'm also glad both of them are good friends of mine. Cuz if either of them give me BLEEP! about my bleeps it's on and poppin'. B) Let's get that straight, heffas. And dont think your gonna get special treatment cuz you new bosses. If I wanna cuss you out, I will do so to the most politie extent. Just like now. :lol:

Joking aside (but I'm serious, don't expect any nicer treatment, see avatar) congrats to Kevin, Clemon's and Pontus! By the by, Pontus, I have never been or never will be politcally correct. Please take this into consideration, although I follow all the rules Lisa has. I at LEAST keep my "bleeps' BLEEP! 's . lol unlike others. ha

Exciting. Great work Lisa! Now, what's this new site???

:phone: Hi? Is Larry there?

First up let me say thanks to everyone so far for the congrats and the welcomes. Next, let me say thanks to Lisa for entrusting me with this huge responsibility. This is so awesome to me. Now I can feel like I am here for a bigger reason than just killing time and running my mouth about everything under the sun. Now I can say I have a hand in running one of the best, hell...bump that, *the* best Whitney board on the net, and I have a personal responsibility for the upkeep of this site not only for the registered menbers but the countless of lurkers who come here on a daily basis. That is SOOOO cool to me. It's especially cool after I have been banned three times... LOL! I'm like a cockroach, you aint getting rid of me. :-) As of today, this marks approximately nine years and 1 month that I have been a member of this board, and I look forward to 9+ more years. In short, we've had fun, and we're gonna continue to have fun. Ya'll know me. If you don't, ask about me. I'm a chill dude, so let's all be chill together. However I am sad to say that my first official act as a moderator of this site is to formally destroy the Whitney-Fan tower. I have been locked up there TOO many times, and dang it I don't plan to go back now that I have my own set of jaintor keys to the joint.

::Larry dramatically walks into the thread::

Wow. First and always first...wait, this ain't the Nippy's! LOL.

I'll try to make you all proud. I'm happy to be serving my fellow Whitney compatriots! And to the 97,000 calls I've received about the spinoff site, just let you all know that I can't say a thing...the amount of money you all are offering me to talk has been far too little. Add a few more zeroes, then we can talk.

Yessir, there's a new sheriff in town, boys...::Terrence taps Larry on the shoulder:: Oh yeah...him too.

Seriously guys thanks! Thanks Lisa!
